Leatherman? in Spooks

[Roadie]

Just been watching the latest series of Spooks that my housemate recorded and i'm sure i saw a leatherman pst or pst II in one of the last episodes used to disarm a bomb (what else!) can't help thinking it would have been easier to get those pliers out if he'd had a Gerber though. In that situation every second counts.
I'll grab a screenshot at some stage tonight for you all to look over.

I have never watched Spooks, but my friends tell me it is really good.

It is a good series, some of the stuff is a bit unbelievable but thats what TV's for right! If you ever get the chance to watch any go for it.

Spooks is a great program mainly due to it being based in England, but its still not as good as '24' though

A selection of screenshots...not entirely sure its a leatherman, might be a knock off, over to you people who are knowledgeable about leathermans!

Eeek! Knockoff alert!


Question: did the guy have the tool with him, or did he pull it out of that box of junk and nails and stuff packed in with the bomb?

yup looks like a knockoff. and that one actually has an awl I would find interesting to use.

He had it with him.....i don't think i trust the british security services now i know they carry knock offs!

Definitely a KO.    To be honest though everything is so damn expensive over here it is probably the best he could afford.

I thought spec-ops guys and other high speed-low drag people only carried the "tactical black" tools. Now I have much less faith in western governments. And that was hard to do.

I was watching the new series of Spooks yesterday and Adam used a Charge Al (it was obvious with the black handle and outside opening blade).  He cut a hostage free with the wire cutters and used the blade to open a car lock.

It was better that way less chance of slicing the fingers off the"hostage"

Only on TV, you could watch someone, use a Leatherman, to disarm a cow-pie
